WTF I thought this was a survival game?

FFS!!!

I know what you mean! Initially the game attracts people who want to just survive, explore, trying get vehicles working with friends etc. Ultimately the players in the game are your biggest concern. Basically trust no one, kill on site. I used to want to help people but after 20 or so hostile encounters Ive joined the rest and kill on site, which is a good thing or I would have died several times now instead of managing to survive against the odds.

The best thing to do is loot smaller villages, try and stay out of the main towns and airfields, play on servers with < 10 people, check all directions and try and avoid players. If you see a player and they've not spottted you, either avoid them or kill them - if you avoid them and fire at zombies 5 minutes later its likely that player you let go will kill you when you arent looking.

Trust no one, appart from friends you met prior to DayZ.

Oh, and welcome to the mindless abuse you will get on these forums ;) There's plenty of trolls here just waiting to reply to new posts - don't let them bother you.

was mainly joking, i have 1 murder on my head in the whole time i am playing....at the moment dayz has a total hype and many people who should have staid with killing floor are on the servers, never read a single guide and do what they can do best : grab a weapon and attack whatever is around.

to leave the topic dayz for a moment : i joined Ultima online the day it started (yeah i know i am old ;) ) and it had nearly no rules for pking or the legal version of it (getting a noob to perform a task which makes him outlawed so you can kill him without becoming a criminal)....when the uo-hype started you could not leave any town (they were small but in there you were at least in most cases safe from getting pked - except the outlaw-trick) for about 6 month. it was impossible to go to a mine, to go pve or do _anything_, we just stood there and talked, every try to run out of town was a suicide commando. killing a miner is not a thing you do for getting rich, it´s totally useless because to carry the max ore amount he had an unlootable pickaxe and nothing else. i think after 6 months it improved a bit and with time it got really better and playable again. but thats the cost you have to pay for the option to pk - which in this game is sometimes a necessary option. make a server pve only and i guess the result will be 30 players waiting in the army bases in a horde, jumping at everything that spawns. and i am quite sure thats not the game you want.

in uo the final answer to people whining cause they got murdered was splitting the world in half, one side stayed (nearly) as before (and was totaly deserted) and the other side (we called it candyland) was overcrowded and all were fighting for a spot in a dungeon etc. and this cant work in dayz.....

when the hype-players leave (and they will because pking without even understanding the game is getting boring fast) the servers will be different again. maybe not like they were but less crowded with axe-swinging maniacs - no offense jack shit, still love your videos! *g*

i for my part look at dayz like at f.e. counterstrike with more options.....if you die you can respawn but you won´t have you expensice weapons anymore...that´s the game ! and starting new is imho more interesting and exciting than running around beeing able to snipe every zed you see and with a bagpack full of all you need...

just my 2 cents,

Hmm....you spent 30 min and got all that stuff?? I spent like loads of hours getting good gear and then a dude sniped me. Instead of calling him an ass I give him creds cause this time he was better then me.

It's nothing wrong with the game and you can't fix this problem anyways. People are people as in the real world, some are assholes and some are friendly. We who try to be friendly will sooner or later learn that if you wan't to survive you need to kill before getting killed but, when you drop that guy/girl and feel bad about it, just say a prayer for the poor dude and bury him

People are people as in the real world, some are assholes and some are friendly.

i agree but i think that statement misses one part : and MANY are 15 or below ... they have no idea how really to communicate with people trying to cooperate, most of them are not even able to use google to find a how-to (believe me, i spent 3 years with many guys from 16 to 19 in our dual education system [i am 34 but just wanted to get a degree] who were to become it-technicians....i learned how to find answers, those guys just wait till someone flies by and tells them. or they ask anyone who is around (so he has to do the job). but they would rather stick their penis covered with superglue and honey into a hornets nest than type "how to play dayz" into the search bar o_o).

they can play games where you use wasd, left mouse to shoot and right mouse to launch an atomic strike but everything harder than that has the title "absolutely unplayable". but they read three lines of a news article on dayz, type dayz into youtube, think "cool, daddy will have to buy!", get arma2, spam every forum they are in with the bad key/serial error that appears (take a look at the arma2 forums on steam...its unf+ckingbelievable !!! there is a sticky thread with the exact title but beneath you have 20 threads asking for help) and then start spamming because they can´t handle the dayz installation. the controls fall under category "cant google" and also take time to adapt to your personal needs so they stay unchanged. and after 5 people did the install and settings for them and they connect to a server with a ping of 150 ("isn´t a high ping better !?") and they are frustrated and blame the game. and that leads to maaaany players of category "serial killer" or "plain stupid" .... i once spawned and a guy ran at me and handed me a bandage...didnt understand what he wanted until he asked me "shit, how can i attack in this game?" ...he wanted to kill me with a bandage ??? and as it didnt work he asked ME ???

i dont say all young people are this way but i dealt with a group of 30 of them for 3 looooong years and i saw many of the mentioned category. they cant think of a target to set for themselves so they are in a game they dont understand and where they have no idea what to do. and they find a hatchet/whatever. i dont even blame them, most of them never learned to look for answers or help but with a 100% security they make about 50-60% of the arma2 copies sold this steam-sale. and they will be gone in some weeks, maybe some months. some may even become good gamers AND teammembers.

but think of this : you see another player in the distance. would you RUN at him without saying sthg (maybe with a hatchet in hands) ? in my oppinion someone doing this is a threat (and an moron) so i either run or blast his brain out. i had great moments with mobile medics (mainly the rated M team) but they also told me they get shot, robbed, killed on sight....

the upper part is surely dramatized and i hope its not true but as far as i can tell much of it is. and dayz is imho not really made for triggerhappy teens. and for sure there are 15 year old guys and girls that are great in teams and inform themselves,but surely not the majority.

just my thoughts (and i am not a "good-old-times"-conservative,i got a son myself and try to teach him how to help himelf as i did in the class i was in with the 30 teens)

cheers,
